Abstract

Typically, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are not responsive to changing data. Novel classes will be incorrectly labelled as a class on which the network was previously trained to recognise. Ideally, a DNN would be able to detect changing data and adapt rapidly with minimal true-labelled samples and without catastrophically forgetting previous classes. In the Online Class Incremental (OCI) field, research focuses on remembering all previously known classes. However, real-world systems are dynamic, and it is not essential to recall all classes forever. The Concept Evolution field studies the emergence of novel classes within a data stream. This paper aims to bring together these fields by analysing OCI Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) adaptation systems in a concept evolution setting by applying novel classes in patterns. Our system, termed AdaDeepStream, offers a dynamic concept evolution detection and CNN adaptation system using minimal true-labelled samples. We apply activations from within the CNN to fast streaming machine learning techniques. We compare two activation reduction techniques. We conduct a comprehensive experimental study and compare our novel adaptation method with four other state-of-the-art CNN adaptation methods. Our entire system is also compared to two other novel class detection and CNN adaptation methods. The results of the experiments are analysed based on accuracy, speed of inference and speed of adaptation. On accuracy, AdaDeepStream outperforms the next best adaptation method by 27% and the next best combined novel class detection/CNN adaptation method by 24%. On speed, AdaDeepStream is among the fastest to process instances and adapt.
